I think you should have left some comment about the game Anomalous Coffee Machine you were inspired by. In description, patreon page and the game itself. The authors of the original idea deserve recognition.
Not cool.
I understand that they already have a finished game on Steam and are developing part two. But it would be the right thing to do.
He did say that no one in this comment section except for him has a common sense. That is definitely wrong.
Also, yeah, while opinions about preferences can’t be wrong - opinions based on false information, faulty logic, or those that contradicts reality can.
I’m not sure it’s necessary to fix it. This is a short little game, not some serious project. Usually when playing such games you just have to roll with those little inconsistencies.
Though I agree that your points are valid and improvements you’re talking about would make the game slightly better.
There’s anger behind this game? Pf… Those are the kind of people who want to censor everything. I think any kind of game has a right to exist - just put it in adult section and add warnings about the content.
What US and Europe do is not even remotely comparable with what russians do, please. See their atrocities in Butcha. And there are many cities like Butcha. Besides, have US or any European country annexed anything after UN was founded in 1945? Because russia did.
I have friends who had to flee their homes, I have colleagues who died defending their country. The downtown of my city is ruins after russian missile. So f russia.
Я мало не купив її в стімі. На щастя, підписаний на куратора, що помічає російські ігри. Не хочу вкладати гроші у те, щоб мені в місто вкотре прилетіла ракета.
Якщо розробники кудись переїдуть і будуть платити в бюджет іншої країни, тоді можна буде купити. Ну або якщо війна завершиться і в рф зміниться режим на такий, що не хоче захоплювати світ.
I don’t know how to improve balance - not my cup of tea.
I’d add more info on the buttons. Like upgrade levels (if I bought vehicles 5 times - to have a number 5 on a vehicles button). Also would be nice to show how much gold typing each word from an upgrade gives you (e.g. “2000g/word”).
Other than that? More content. For example, buying 10 people upgrades - improves human clothes or even add a new person.
Making things interactable would be a nice touch - if you press on a cat it meows or something.
Also, would be nice to have a small congratulations message once you unlocked everything. Not necessary a pop-up, could be just a green text below all upgrades.
Awesome game! Couldn’t expect it to be that great.

It would be really cool if our universe name (Z89541) would change depending on the choices made in the past, like a seed. But maybe it shouldn’t, idk.
As for the term “time branch” - it is confusing for me. In one place the term it seem to describes the node that different time paths converge to. In another place it seem to describe a time path between 2 nodes.
Also, I can’t see how millions of time paths can converge into one node. If you skipped the class and if you went to school - you get 2 different universe afterwards: the one where you remember going to school (+ you have the notes you taken during classes) and the other one where you remember the activities you did while skipping the school.
Also, shouldn’t Butterfly look much older and shouldn’t Mirall recognize him?
Yeah, Null is the best. Better than this and better than Null Remastered. I like everything in the original Null more. The art, the dialogues. (Although I do like sprites in Death Moon.) It feels like original Null was put more effort into it.
And original names are also cooler. Cécélia > Astrid.
I have to work with many different date formats a lot in my work. I just want to say, I hate the American one so much. It’s like someone put year, month and day in a random order. I wish US applied ISO 8601 or something.
Cool game. It’s a little confusing that we allows South America back again without any more lore explanation. Or when on day 7 the rule about “only standard browsing for silvers” suddenly disappears. Also if would be great if after day 7 you’d give “The End” screen and opened Endless Mode, instead of giving the same level over and over again.
Also it’s a bit annoying to not know the priority of the rules.
Regardless the idea and the game itself is great. If you decide to extend it (with improvements, different endings etc.) it could become really popular.
